Zhou Zizhen stuffed a few large silver tickets for the palace maid, he didn't dare to stuff the items, for fear that the palace maid would give the things to Xiao Tianyu, so as to save the truth, even if the silver tickets were discovered, there was a way to quibble.

"We're just asking you a few questions, and if you don't want to answer them, you can choose not to answer them."

The palace maid was a little apprehensive, "Okay." ”

Zhou Zizhen asked, "Which palace are you the palace maid?" ”

"The slave maid is the palace maid of the Weiyang Palace, and she came to bring pastries to His Majesty."

Zhou Zi really thought: There is nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it, God really wishes me.

"I want to see Cao Qing, the palace maid of Weiyang Palace, after you send pastries to Your Majesty, can you help me call her out to meet?"

The palace maid frowned, "The eldest prince, there is no palace maid named Cao Qing in the Weiyang Palace. ”

"What!" Zhou Zizhen couldn't believe it at all, and gave the palace maid a few more silver tickets, "Think about it, what difficulties does the girl have, just say it, if the silver tickets are not enough, I still have them here." ”

The palace maid said in a panic: "The eldest prince, the slave maid is serious, the slave maid has been serving in the Weiyang Palace for five years, what palace maids and eunuchs are in the Weiyang Palace, the slaves and maids are clear, and there is really no palace maid named Cao Qing in the Weiyang Palace." ”

Zhou Jingrui took out two more silver tickets from Zhou Zizhen's sleeve and gave them to the palace maid, "You can go, you didn't see us just now, remember." ”

The palace maid took the silver ticket and said with sincere fear: "The slave obeys the order." ”

Zhou Jingrui is also a little panicked now, "Brother, what should I do!?" Didn't Cao Qing say that she was the palace maid of Weiyang Palace? What's going on! And I just looked at the palace maid's look, it didn't look like she was lying. ”

Zhou Zizhen felt that his brain was not enough, "Let's go back first!" Think long way. ”

Back at the post station, Zhou Zi really didn't understand the secret, he thought about it for several days, and even Cao Qing was in his dream.

———— the following is Zhou Zizhen's dream————

Xiao Tianyu happily nibbled on the sugar gourd, and Zhou Zizhen identified the surrounding environment, which was where he first saw Cao Qing.

Zhou Zizhen ran to Xiao Tianyu's side, "Cao Qing, it turns out that you are here, every time I see you, you seem to be eating most of the time." ”

Xiao Tianyu smiled sweetly: "Hehe! Life is already very bitter, of course I have to have something sweet to eat," Xiao Tianyu stretched out the half-eaten sugar gourd to Zhou Zizhen, "Hey, sugar gourd, it's delicious, do you want to take a bite?" ”

Zhou Zizhen bit a sugar gourd, sweet, it was indeed delicious, but he never liked sweetness, and he still tasted this kind of thing.

Xiao Tianyu continued to nibble, not minding that the sugar gourd had been eaten by Zhou Zizhen just now.

Zhou Zizhen blushed, remembered his doubts, drove the erotic thing out of his mind, and hurriedly asked: "Cao Qing, you said that you are the palace maid of Weiyang Palace, how can I ask the palace maid of Weiyang Palace, she said that there is no you in Weiyang Palace, what's the matter?" ”

"Guess what!" Xiao Tianyu smiled mischievously, "Tell me what's going on." ”

Zhou Zizhen said impatiently: "I just didn't know before I came to ask you, I like you very much, I want to take you back to Weiguo, Xiao Tianyu refuses to let you go, I want to discuss with you, do you want to elope with me." ”

Xiao Tianyu laughed, threw the uneaten sugar gourd on the ground in a dashing manner, and shouted as he ran: "You came to chase me!" As soon as you catch up with me, I'll tell you all the things, come on! ”

Zhou Zizhen smiled: "Don't underestimate me, I have been practicing martial arts for many years, can I catch up with your little girl?" ”

Zhou Zizhen pulled his legs to chase after him, and it didn't take long for Zhou Zizhen to notice that something was wrong, he was obviously running wildly, but his speed was very slow, and he couldn't catch up with Xiao Tianyu, so he could only watch Xiao Tianyu run farther and farther until he disappeared from his sight.

"Don't!"

———— the dividing line between waking up from dreams————

Zhou Zizhen opened his eyes and found himself lying in the room, surrounded by darkness, and then he knew that everything just now was just a dream.

Zhou Zizhen was in a trance, immersed in a dream for several days, Zhou Jingrui looked very worried, "Brother, why don't you go out for a walk and relax?" ”

Zhou Zizhen stood up and walked out of the post station with a shake.

Zhou Jingrui chopped her feet, and hurriedly called the guards to follow Zhou Zizhen and protect him.

Zhou Zizhen walked and walked, and inadvertently returned to the place where he met Xiao Tianyu for the first time, the street was exactly the same as Zhou Zizhen's dream that day, and continued to walk forward, and the vendor selling sugar gourds was still shouting in the same place.

Everything is exactly the same, including the person he has in mind......

Zhou Zizhen doubted whether he was in a dream, pinched himself hard, and found that he would feel pain, which means that this is not a dream.

Zhou Zizhen seemed to have found the backbone, rushed to Xiao Tianyu, and said excitedly: "Cao Qing, I finally found you." ”

Xiao Tianyu felt that he was really unlucky, he just came out to wander around and buy sugar gourds, this can also be encountered, it can't be Zhou Zizhen looking for someone to guard here, otherwise how could it be so coincidental.

Zhou Zizhen continued: "Didn't you say that you are the palace maid of Weiyang Palace? Why do other palace maids in Weiyang Hall say that there is no such person as you, what is going on? ”

Xiao Tianyu broke away from Zhou Zizhen's palm, "You let go of me first, don't pull and pull on the street." ”

Zhou Zizhen let go of his hand in frustration, "Then you tell me what's going on, no matter what the reason for you deceiving me is, I will forgive you." ”

Shen Xingzhou's hand was on the hilt of the sword, guarding against Zhou Zizhen at any time, and the guards behind Zhou Zizhen saw Shen Xingzhou's movements, and also put their hands on the hilt of the sword, looking at Xiao Tianyu and Shen Xingzhou vigilantly, which made them look like they were coming to the fire.

Xiao Tianyu thought about it, and found that he couldn't make up any perfect lies, so he said embarrassedly: "That...... Can I not say it? ”

Zhou Zizhen grabbed Xiao Tianyu's wrist, "It's okay not to say it, you go back to the post station with me first, I have something to tell you, it's not convenient here." ”

"I ......" Xiao Tianyu found that Zhou Zizhen's eyes were not good, and she was afraid that Zhou Zizhen would attack her, so close, Shen Xingzhou couldn't save her "Yes, no problem." ”

Xiao Tianyu was still very cowardly when he should be cowardly, and he was powerful and domineering enough when he was domineering, now is not the time to be domineering, it is better to coax a little.

Zhou Jingrui stayed in the post station and fidgeted, worried that something would happen to Zhou Zi, but no one could be guarded in the post station, otherwise the officials of the Ministry of Rites would come to discuss the matter and no one would receive them, and it would be too rude to defend the country.

"Cao Qing?!" Just when Zhou Jingrui was worried, Zhou Zizhen came back with Xiao Tianyu.

Xiao Tianyu felt like she had fallen into a thief's den, obviously this was her territory, and she was really sad, "Big prince, what do you have to tell me, please hurry up!" I still have something to do, don't delay me. ”

Zhou Zizhen saw Xiao Tianyu so indifferent, and his heart was also sad, "Cao Qing, I want to take you out of the capital and go to the country, I like you, I promise you the position of the crown prince and concubine......"

Xiao Tianyu took two steps back and said indifferently: "I remember that I told you the reason, if there is nothing else, I will leave." ”

"Don't go!"

Shen Xingzhou stood in front of Xiao Tianyu, "Please respect yourself, the eldest prince." ”

Zhou Zizhen was stung by Xiao Tianyu's indifferent eyes, knowing that he had no chance, and thought: Xiao Tianyu refused to let people go, and Cao Qing refused to elope with me, alas~

Zhou Zizhen smiled bitterly: "Cao Qing, can you leave a pair of ink treasures for me, after I return to Weiguo, it is estimated that it will be difficult to see you again." ”

Xiao Tianyu's heart softened, and he said helplessly: "Okay! ”

Xiao Tianyu's brush characters are very ugly, and they have been criticized by Xun Lingjun for a long time, so Xiao Tianyu will not be stupid enough to show Zhou Zizhen his ugly characters, then only ink paintings can be taken out, and the bamboo she painted can still be seen.

Zhou Zizhen helped Xiao Tianyu grind, Xiao Tianyu focused on drawing bamboo, Zhou Jingrui stood aside and watched, feeling that the two were very harmonious, especially like husband and wife, she really didn't understand her brother's conditions were so good, why Cao Qing didn't like her brother, obviously she also forgave Cao Qing for being framed before, why is this?

Xiao Tianyu put away the pen, "It's okay, I'll give you this painting, my words are too ugly, it's not easy to take it out and show off." ”

Zhou Zizhen stared at this painting, he had seen many paintings by famous artists, each one was thousands of times better than Xiao Tianyu's painting, but this was painted by Xiao Tianyu, this painting has a new meaning, no matter how ugly it is, in his eyes, this is the most beautiful one, better than those ancient famous paintings.

"I'm leaving."

Zhou Zizhen is still a little dissatisfied...... Let's leave a word for more! It's okay if you don't want to, I won't force you, and I won't say that your words are not good-looking. ”

Xiao Tianyu picked up the brush, Zhou Zizhen diligently put the painting on the table to dry the ink, took a new piece of rice paper and put it in front of Xiao Tianyu, Xiao Tianyu actually hesitated, first, she didn't know what to write, and secondly, her brush writing was really rubbish, and this shame was thrown to a foreign country, it didn't seem to be very good?

Zhou Zizhen saw that Xiao Tianyu was still very hesitant, and hurriedly said: "It's okay, I will just put it in the house and look at it myself, and I won't let others see your calligraphy and paintings, so you can write it with confidence!" ”

Xiao Tianyu heard Zhou Zizhen's assurance, so he put pen to paper.

Zhou Zizhen watched from the sidelines, and couldn't help but be stupid, and read out the poem written by Xiao Tianyu, "When you sing about wine, life is geometric." For example, the morning dew is bitter in the past. Be generous and unforgettable. How to solve the problem? Only Du Kang. Qingqing Zijin, leisurely my heart. But for the sake of the king, he has been groaning so far. Yo yo deer chirping, eating wild apples. I have guests, drummers and shengs. It's as clear as the moon, when can it be done? Worries come from it, and they cannot be cut off. The more strange it is, the more vain it exists. Talking about the old kindness. The moon stars are scarce, and the black magpie flies south. Three turns around the tree, what branches can be followed? The mountains are not tired of being high, and the sea is not tired of being deep. Zhou Gong vomited and fed, and the world returned to the heart. ”

"Oops!" Xiao Tianyu accidentally touched the inkstone when he put the pen, and there was a lot of ink on his hands, Xiao Tianyu didn't care about Zhou Zizhen, and hurriedly ran to the backyard to fetch water and wash his hands.

Xiao Tianyu rubbed his hands vigorously, and his tender little hands were rubbed until they were red, and the ink on them was still very thick, and he couldn't wash them clean.

Shen Xingzhou said: "Cao Qing, this ink is very difficult to wash off, so you can only wait for it to fall off by itself in a few days." ”

Xiao Tianyu is not a rigid person, since the ink can't be washed off for a while, Xiao Tianyu doesn't wash it anymore, wipes his hands and goes back, seeing Zhou Zizhen and Zhou Jingrui both reading the poems she "wrote", focusing on her when she came back, she found that Xiao Tianyu said hello, and didn't care that they didn't hear it, so she left with Shen Xingzhou.
